3,4-Dihydroxyhydrocinnamic Acid(DHCA) can be used as a monomer to prepare muscle-mimetic, bioadhesive polymers. The strong adhesive action of the polymers is due to interactions of catechol groups present at the end of the polymer terminal chain and substrate surface.
 
Chemical Formula: C10H10O4
Molecular Weight: Approximately 178.19 g/mol
Appearance: Typically a crystalline solid or powder, often white or pale yellow.
Cinnamic Acid Core: The basic structure consists of a benzene ring with a side chain containing a carboxyl group (–COOH) and an ethylene bridge (–CH=CH–).
Hydroxy Groups: Two hydroxyl groups (–OH) are attached to the 3- and 4-positions of the benzene ring.
Metabolite: Found naturally in various plants as a metabolite. It plays a role in plant defense mechanisms and secondary metabolism.
Natural Antioxidants: Used as a natural antioxidant in food products, helping to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
Flavoring Agents: It can be used in flavoring or as part of the flavor profile in certain foods and beverages.
Toxicity: Specific toxicity data is limited, but it is typically handled with care similar to other phenolic compounds. Avoid inhalation or prolonged contact with skin.
Stability: Generally stable under dry conditions. Should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture to maintain its integrity.
